Hey, hadn't Raqibul Hasan retired from International Cricket ? Then why is he playing this ?

Wow, pretty dead match-day thread...
I thought Bangladesh batted well, don't think Jimmy was as bad as his figures though we had our foot off the pedeal quite a bit imo. Bangladesh clearly lacking any punch with the ball, Shakib is genuinely good enough, always a pleasure to watch him bowl. The rest look like the hundreds of county bowlers I've seen.
Hope Mushfiqur is all right after clobbering one in the eye after it spat up off a good length from one of Bangladesh's myriad of SLA's.

No ones really bothered about the series. Especially as Bangladesh have been so dreadful it makes a pretty boring match.
I think the poncing about playing Bangladesh in Tests, then the aussies in ODIs then going back and playing Bangladesh in ODIs doesn't help. I mean from playing the best side around to the worst is just the wrong order, you build up to the aussie ODI series by playing the Bangladeshis. Now it is just anticlimax
What to say about the match? Ordinary fare from England but enough to win comfortably. Anderson gives away too many runs too often, he may have taken three wickets but two of those were lower order batsmen. Even against Bangladesh Wright did nothing, if he doesn't bat six then he's in an all-rounder slot and unlikely to impact the game anyway - not that he does at all often.
Tredwell was barely given a chance, again emphasising my point about too many bowling options with bits n pieces cricketers in the side. You need five bowlers, or more precisely five 10 over allocations to be filled, and England have five supposedly in the side for their bowling plus Collingwood and Wright. Ditch Wright ffs, Collingwood may as well be the fifth bowler and we could include TWO extra batsmen (for tougher asks)
Bresnan did ok, but so too should others against such modest opposition. Even then one of his two wickets was a tailender so it isn't like he won the match for England. Bell did as much as he could to prove his critics wrong, but in the words of Newt in Aliens "it won't make any difference" because they'll be on his back any time he doesn't win games for us. Strauss is another a lot of England fans wanted left out of ODIs not so long ago. He supplied the early impetus, shame he was run out.
The rest chipped away, I guess you could call it a 'solid effort' but against that opposition the players should be doing a lot more individually. Maybe they too feel this is a series someone could have scratched from the schedule. A triangular series would have been a better idea, afford the aussies more games to make more of a contest of the ODIs vs England ( within the triangular series) and have a final place at stake. I expect it to be 2-0 and series over, I wish England had ditched Bresnan and Wright and given better players a go, although they seem to like bits n pieces to fill in gaps.
Oh boy. Ashraful is back. He's been brought up yet again. For goodness sake, how many chances is he going to get? Wish they would try someone else but I suppose that he's the best they have. I sincerely hope he takes his chance this time and makes a decent contribution because he's been, no other word for it, rubbish.
Yep, it interested me greatly in some of the Aussie games that Strauss would give all 7 guys a bowl even when they were well on top in the game and none of the main guys were bowling so obviously badly that he needed replacing. What's the point? I'd go with your approach definitely - well halfway. Collingwood should be the 6th bowler not 5th IMO, but agree that Wright is a hack.
That's not true. There are guys in domestic, who avg. over 50, some even 60. Thats 40+ better than Ashraful. So they can't say avg. 50 in Ban domestic doesn't mean much, when bunch of guys in the national team never reached avg. 30s before being selected. Ashrafool definitly have some connection in the board that he sucks up to.
And about the injuries, Raqibul suffered from hairline fracture, will out for 15 days. Rahim injured a clot next to his eye and will be out for least 7 days. He is at a eye hospital
Another proof of Ashraful having a connection with insider:
How many got injured in the 1st game? 2, a keeper, and a middle order. So they will need to bring a keeper and just another who ever, because we already have a long batting squad.
But they called up a keeper, Naeem Islam. And they added Ashrafool to that! Why? Why do we need a 3rd guy??

Bowled 7+ overs : x8 (40%)
Bowled 0-4 overs : x6 (30%)
Average = 5.8 overs
The only case I'd make for him being sixth bowler is he doesn't take enough wickets - his SR is 90.00 for that period. But a lot of the time he has bowled so well you wonder why he hasn't bowled out his allocation - 7-8 of those are good enough figures to bowl 10 overs where he hasn't, he's only bowled out his 10 overs twice in that period.
Ironically Wright has taken twice as many wickets in only 25 more overs, but at a heavy cost. Collingwood gets through his overs on a decent ER, it's a question of whether that is good enough and does having two players who serve much the same purpose in the side worthwhile when one of them is one of our best ODI batsmen and the other barely averages enough to justify his place?
But the main point of the stats is Collingwood is bowling around six overs a time over a long period, he may as well bowl all 10 and then we can drop one of the bits n pieces cricketers ie he is more or less playing a frontline bowler role

Shahzad's already looked more threatening than Bresnan has with the new ball in any game in the last few months. Better domestic record, better pace, actually moves the new white ball and looks like taking wickets outside the slog overs. I'm sure Bresnan will be stuck with though, as they 'like his character'.
Nice to see Shahzad picking up Tamim too. He's been the only bowler to get Tamim to consistently play and miss, and he eventually finds the edge, very good bowling. Fine catch from Kieswetter too, his keeping has been excellent.
